Sarah Pekkanen

The eScoop: Ilsa Brown wasn't expecting a little, injured dog to lead her to the love of her life. But within months of their first meeting on a street corner in L.A., she and Grif (the dog's owner) are engaged. Things between them are so blissful that Ilsa is stunned by the tension that erupts during their visit to Chicago to meet his parents, where she discovers that Grif's old girlfriend, Elise, is still woven into his family. What Ilsa needs to know before she can walk down the aisle is whether Elise is still in Grif's heart, too. Featuring a character from Sarah Pekkanen's original eBook short story All Is Bright, Love, Accidentally is surprising and heartfelt. It's a story about taking chances and choosing hope, and discovering what it means to love someone -- and to let go of someone you love.

Kristin Hannah

The eScoop: In her classic short story The Glass Case, Kristin Hannah explores the heart and mind of a young mother. April Bannerman is a young mother of three, married to her high school sweetheart and living in the same small town in which she grew up. Although she loves her children and husband, April is plagued by the growing doubt about living up to her mother's expectations for her -- until one day when something terrible and unexpected happens, and April must face the truth about her own life and discover what really matters.?

Jennifer Weiner

The eScoop: After Maureen's husband dies, she imagines that the years of abuse are over, but while looking for the Halloween decorations in the attic, Maureen finds a gift-wrapped GPS with her name on the box: an early birthday present from her late husband. When the voice from the machine starts giving her sinister directions, she learns that sometimes the dead are restless... and she's locked in a battle not just for her life, but for her soul.

Jane Green, Jennifer Weiner and Meg Cabot
